Rotary Table Centreing
Bluechip:
Hi Troops
Thanks for the replies. I've had a lathe ( 2 Myfords and a 7x20 ) for 30+ years, so I've a fair idea what they will, or won't, do. This milling machine is a whole new can of worms. I must admit it's done all that I wanted it to do, bearing in mind it's a 600W motor, and not exotically expensive. I've only trashed one slot drill so far, mainly because guage plate ain't mild steel, and I can't recognise the two apart by eye !! I shall soldier on .. as you say, it will all come together sooner or later. :)
BTW Stew, had that compound table out of it's box yet ??
If you have, you've got further in a week than I did in a 4 years :D

Sorry Dave!
Only just found this post...... ::)
Don`t think you saw my mill(?). When are you calling in again?
But, you`ve probably, already solved the problem......

Hi Dave
Was thinking of a visit later on this week, bring the gear wotsits up.
Last Monday the hard drive departed this life on my other PC. Been trying to get some sense out of the think all last week. No freakin' back-ups of course. :(
Having spent a lifetime in the IT industry, being fully aware of the awful consequences of the 'NO BACK-UP' syndrome, you would have thought I would be well endowed in that aspect ???
Alas !! NO !!
What a pratt ......
Nothing particularly vital gone .. just annoying, having to re-create the useful stuff.
Will phone later today.
Dave

Dave,
The milling machine is nothing more than a lathe turned 90 degrees on it's end. In the lathe the part moves and the tool doesn't. It's just the opposite in the mill.
